This recording marks the
beginning of a new series devoted to previously unrecorded chamber
works by the Danish composer Vagn Holmboe. The music was written
from the 1950s to the 1980s and ranges wide, all the way from the
playful to the serious. Holmboe’s inexhaustible wealth of
ideas and his mixture of lightness and ingenuity run through all
the works. As does his ‘metamorphosis’ technique, which
makes the music breathe and grow like the Nordic landscape of which
Holmboe felt himself to be a part.
